Under the astounded gazes of the surrounding crowd of spectators, the four Dongguo Clan generals directly left after consuming healing medicinal pills.
The direction they left towards wasn't the direction of the Dongguo Clan.
Now, they only had a single thought.
That was to go as far as they could and never return to the Ancient Desert City!
Only in this way would they be able to avoid the pursuit of the Dongguo Clan.
However, even though the four Dongguo Clan generals had fled, the news of the Dongguo Clan's Eldest Young Master, Dongguo Han, being killed still reached the Dongguo Clan.
The Dongguo Clan was one of the three great clans of the Ancient Desert City, and it controlled an area of the Ancient Desert City.
At this moment, at the side of the pergola at the center of the vast lake within the Dongguo Clan Estate, an old man was sitting silently there, and he held a fishing rod in his hand as he was fishing.
Even though the old man was fishing, his eyes were closed tightly, and he seemed to be extremely carefree and content.
This old man looked to be no different than an ordinary old man.
Suddenly, the old man opened his eyes, and a bright light flashed within.
Swoosh!
At the same time, the hand the old man held the fishing rod shook and directly pulled up the fishing rod, and a large fish was hooked up and just happened to be tossed into the nearby bamboo basket by him.
If someone was here and saw the hook on the fishing rod in the old man's hand, the person would surely be extremely astounded.
That was because the hook was straight!
If Duan Lingtian was here and saw this scene, he would surely be unable to help but recall the legend of Grand Duke Jiang fishing that had been passed down since ancient times on Earth in his previous life.
When Grand Duke Jiang fishes, those who are willing to take the bait!
Whereas the hook Grand Duke Jiang used to fish was precisely straight.
"I've finally caught one … Han 'er has the fortune of tasting good food today."
The old man lightly smiled as he muttered, and when he spoke the two words' Han 'er,' his muddy eyes seemed to reveal dense doting.
His life was filled with misfortune. His son had died young and only left behind a single grandson, and it could be said that he had a single heir.
It was precisely because of this that he loved and doted on that grandson of his, and he wished for nothing more than to give the best things in the world to him.
It was also because of that grandson that he'd always occupied the position of Patriarch of the Dongguo Clan, because he intended to pass this position down to his grandson in the future.
He had placed his greatest hopes on his grandson.
As for his grandson, he did not disappoint him. Although he was a little 'foppish', his talent and comprehension were not bad.
As for the term "silkpants", he didn't take it to heart.
Who hadn't been young and frivolous?
Moreover, he had the capital to allow his grandson to be a 'playboy' in the Ancient Desert City. He was not worried at all that anyone would dare to provoke his grandson.
Suddenly, the old man raised his eyebrows. He saw a figure running towards the pavilion in the middle of the lake in a panic.
"Didn't I say that I don't like to be disturbed when I'm fishing?"
The old man's face darkened. As he spoke, an incomparably powerful aura emanated from his body. It enveloped the newcomer, causing him to involuntarily bend his back.
The person that arrived was an old woman, and she was precisely the Dongguo Clan's manager. Presently, her expression was extremely unsightly, and she seemed to hesitate to speak.
"Hmm?"
Seeing the old woman's expression, the old man's face sank.
The old woman had worked her entire life for their Dongguo Clan, and he knew the old woman extremely well. If it wasn't an extremely important matter, it was impossible for the old woman to lose her composure like this.
"What? What happened? "
The old man asked.
The old woman took a deep breath when she heard the old man, and then she said with a trembling voice, "Clan … Patriarch, Eldest Young Master … Eldest Young Master, he …"
"What happened to the Eldest Young Master?"
The aura on the old man instantly strengthened to press down onto the old woman, causing the old woman to break out in cold sweat as her body shivered.
The old man's gaze was like a sword, and it seemed as if it could penetrate the old woman's body.
"Patriarch, my condolences."
Finally, the old woman caught her breath and spoke with her head lowered.
My condolences?
The old man's body shook when he heard the old woman. Instantly, an extremely terrifying aura was emitted from the old man's body.
In the next moment, waves of terrifying gales suddenly arose in the surroundings of the pavilion in the middle of the lake, and the gales grew faster and faster before finally transforming into numerous material wind blades.
Swish! Swish! Swish! Swish! Swish!
…
The old man was enraged, and wind blades swept out to instantly mince the entire pavilion into pieces before crashing into the vast lake.
The entire pavilion in the middle of the lake instantly ceased to exist.
It wasn't just that, at this moment, the water in the entire lake was enveloped by numerous terrifying gales before sweeping up, and it seemed to have transformed into numerous roaring water dragons.
At this moment, only the old man and the old woman weren't affected.
The old woman lowered her head and didn't dare speak another word.
She was able to deeply feel the monstrous rage of the Patriarch, and she didn't doubt in the slightest that if she dared speak out of turn now, it was very likely that she would become the target of the Patriarch's rage.
"Lead the way!"
The old man shouted out coldly as he raised his hand and brought the old woman along to instantly vanish in the sky above the vast lake.
Meanwhile, the lake water that was seething in the lake recovered its calm once more.
"Who did it?!"
Many higher-ups of the Dongguo Clan were gathered within the Dongguo Clan's Audience Hall, and they couldn't help but sigh when they saw the old man roaring as he charged in.
"Han 'er!"
The old man stood by the side of the corpse that lay on the ground, and his eyes flickered with a ferocious light as he looked at the corpse that had its throat pierced through. "Don't tell me … All of you haven't found out who did it."
The old man's words were filled with extreme icy coldness, and it caused everyone present to be unable to refrain from shivering.
"Patriarch, he's one of the eyewitnesses."
In next to no time, the old woman that followed behind brought along a young man that had his head lowered to walk in, and she spoke to the old man.
The old man's gaze that was like a sword descended onto the young man when he heard this, and his imposing aura swept out along with this.
Bang!
The young man's face instantly flushed red when he was enveloped by the old man's imposing aura, and then he collapsed to the ground and spat out a mouthful of blood as he looked at the old man with a terrified expression.
"Speak!"
The old man's icy cold voice that was filled with killing intent caused the young man to feel as if he'd fallen into an icy pit, and he didn't dare hesitate in the slightest as he hurriedly spoke of the scene he saw not long ago.
"At the beginning, Young Master Han spurred his horse and used his horsewhip to strike a woman flying, and the woman's child stood on the road and was about to die beneath the horse's hooves … At this moment, a young woman in red clothes made a move to save the child."
"After that, Young Master Han …"
"…"
The young man was precisely a passerby that had witnessed the entire process today, and he spoke of the scenes he'd seen without missing a single word.
Whoosh!
As soon as the young man finished speaking, a terrifying imposing aura gushed out from the old man's body, and it pressed down on the higher-ups of the Dongguo Clan to the point they couldn't help but repeatedly take a few steps back.
As for the young man, he was directly blasted flying, and his head collided with the pillar in the Audience Hall, causing him to be deader than dead.
Perhaps, even the young man himself had never imagined that he would die so aggrieved.
After all, the reason he'd come to the Dongguo Clan to tip them off was precisely for the sake of the Dongguo Clan's reward.
Yet now, he hadn't obtained the reward he deserved yet, yet he'd died an unjust death.
"Good! Very good! He even dares to kill the grandson of I, Dongguo Lei, looks like that violet clothed kid is tired of living! "
The old man, the Patriarch of the Dongguo Clan, Dongguo Lei, spoke with a voice that was like a thunderclap, and it caused the eardrums of some of the higher-ups of the Dongguo Clan that had comparatively lower cultivations to tremble as their expressions went grim.
"Grand Elder, I'll give you a day of time … I want to see the heads of those four traitors after a day!"
Dongguo Lei looked at a white haired old man as he spoke with a low voice.
"Yes, Patriarch."
The old man replied respectfully before turning around and transforming into a bolt of lightning that left to busy himself.
"The remaining people …."
Subsequently, Dongguo Lei looked at the remaining higher-ups of the Dongguo Clan, and killing intent flickered within his eyes. "Your mission is to investigate the identity of that violet clothed kid that killed my grandson … Once you find out where he is, then bring him back. I want him alive! As for those three companions of his, kill them directly. "
"The first person to investigate the identity of that violet clothed kid will be able to obtain 1,000 mid grade Origin Stones."
"The person that brings that violet clothed kid back will be able to obtain 10,000 mid grade Origin Stones!"
"Besides that, the person that brings back the head of any one of the three companions of that violet clothed kid will be able to obtain 1,000 mid grade Origin Stones."
Dongguo Lei issued a reward within the clan as he spoke, and this was sufficient to display his impatience to take revenge for his grandson.
"Yes!"
The gazes of everyone lit up in unison, and they left impatiently after replying respectfully.
Every single one of them hoped to be able to obtain the reward set by the Patriarch.
The person that brought that violet clothed kid back would be able to obtain 10,000 mid grade Origin Stones!
Even if it was the Second Elder, Third Elder, and other elders with lofty statuses in the Dongguo Clan, they impatiently desired 10,000 low grade Origin Stones.
Along with Dongguo Lei giving the order, the entire Dongguo Clan was mobilized.
The entire Ancient Desert City had gone completely mad!
Whereas the person in question, Duan Lingtian, was currently silently staying within the Narcissus Pavilion in Skywolf Fort and cultivating diligently.
Nine Dragons War Sovereign Technique, Sword Dragon Form!
Along with the overbearing medicinal strength of the Rebirth Pill spreading out from his body, Duan Lingtian's Origin Energy increased at an extremely terrifying speed. This speed was sufficient to cause any martial artist on Cloud Continent to feel ashamed and even feel inferior.
"According to this speed … I ought to be able to smoothly break through to the third level of the Void Interpretation Stage in at most two or three months!"
Duan Lingtian thought to himself as he felt the swift increase of his Origin Energy.
"Along with the increase of my Origin Energy, the Advanced Sword Force seems to be on the verge of transforming as well … There are still three days of time before the Martial Competition of the Ten Dynasties begins."
Duan Lingtian continued cultivating for the sake of Sword Concept.
Finally, another day passed.
On this day, Duan Lingtian woke up from his cultivation, and when he opened his eyes, a sword light that was filled with a sharp and fierce aura faintly seemed to flash past within his eyes.
Swish!
With a raise of his hand, Duan Lingtian's Origin Energy condensed into a sword, and strands of fierce aura leaped about on it as it emitted a wave of light sword howls.
At the same time, another ancient horned dragon silhouette appeared out of thin air at the side of the 300 ancient horned dragon silhouettes.
